Having pressed the clock, player B has also forfeited his right to claim A's illegal move (by completing his move), so Player A is not punished. But as the position on the board is illegal (with A's king in check), the position is restored to the position before A last moved, and the game continues.

Is player A punished for making the first illegal move and player B let off scot-free?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
